The Lightspeed Zulu 3 Headset

The most comfortable, most durable headset Lightspeed has ever made!

Lightspeed engineers researched how pilots perceive noise at various
frequencies in the cockpit, then developed technology providing focused noise
attenuation over the most critical ranges. The result is the Lightspeed Zulu 3, a headset with the
ultimate performance profile and industry-leading total noise cancellation
attributes.

FlightLink for iPad / iPhoneThe first in-flight cockpit recording application for the Apple iPad and
iPhone. The free FlightLink app works seamlessly with the Lightspeed Zulu 3
headsets to capture and retrieve incoming and outgoing communications. Store
multiple flight recordings on your device or computer, and enjoy instant
playback of Air Traffic Control transmissions. On the iPad, draw notes on the
large scratchpad. Easily toggle from other apps to access recordings and notes.

Lightspeed Zulu 3 versus Lightspeed Zulu.2New contoured ear seals are designed to hug the curve of the jaw, reducing
side pressure to get a more natural fit for more comfort and stability. These
ear seals create 30-50% more space for the ear than other ANR headsets — a key
feature of long-term user comfort. The Lightspeed Zulu 3 also includes a free
taller head pad to ensure maximum comfort and performance on smaller head shapes
(redemption instructions are in the User Guide). In addition the Lightspeed Zulu
3 is outfitted with new cables built around a Kevlar core, which are stronger,
lighter, and more flexible than standard cables — and have proven themselves on
both the Lightspeed
Zulu PFX and
Lightsped Tango. And, the Lightspeed Zulu 3 will be backed by an
industry-best 7-year warranty (the industry standard is 5 years at best).

Pleasantly surprised at the ANR quality!

Pros: ANR, Bluetooth, cost

Review:
Bought these to replace old DC headsets in my A36. Took one to work just to try out and compare with the Bose A 20, haven’t switched back to the Bose!! Great ANR and Bluetooth! Curious to see how hold up over time with daily usage. Great bang for your buck!!

Litespeed Zulu 3

By James

Pros: Well made, quality product. Phone and mic jac cabling is superb for use in small cramped cockpit. Better priced than comparable headsets.

Review:
The Zulu 3 headset is well made and looks and feels high quality throughout. All indications are that it will be very durable over the long haul. The mic and phone jack cables are small and flexible, feel very durable and are easy to manage in the cockpit. Communication wise (external and intercom) the Zulu 3 is very clear.

I have previously been using a Bose A20's headset in my RV6 prior to this purchase. The RV6 is not noted for being a quiet environment (headset required aircraft). After using the Zulu 3 for a month I have switched back to using the Bose A20 headset.

My observations is that the Zulu 3 has higher clamping pressure on my head compared to the Bose so the Bose is more comfortable. The background noise/sounds with the Zulu seem louder when compared to the Bose A20. In addition, when turning my head from facing straight ahead, the background sound level increases noticeably with the Zulu 3 something I don't detect with the Bose.

Having read it many times before, I have now proved to myself that aircraft headsets are very user subjective so your mileage may vary.

Pros and cons over Bose.

By SDKA

on Wednesday, January 02, 2019

Pros: Amazing cord, lightweight. Active and passive reduction great.

Review:

Well, hard to say. If you’re moving up from a passive headset, this will be the best thing ever.

I came over from an older Bose and had mixed reviews. The overall build, materials, and cord seem much more robust compared to Bose. The Bluetooth is included at no extra cost. If I was solo, this would be the headset.

The cons, hard to adjust often. In my aircraft, crews switch seats and the headset stays. Getting each persons settings on size, volume and mic gain is hard. We had a constant issue to control the cockpit noise while transmitting.

Pros: Quality materials and construction. Quiet and comfortable.

Review:
My first active noise canceling headset and I love it. Very well made. Not cheep plastic like the Bose. Make flying much less fatigueing. Noise canceling works great. Ear seals are comfortable. Feels lighter than you would expect given that it has very little plastic. A truly quality piece.

Zulu3

By Bill
from Arlington TN USA
on Monday, December 10, 2018

Pros: Comfortable and functions well

Cons: Extremely short cable, and my direct email asking to send it back to add cable or acquire and extension lightspped referred me to another vendor that want $55 for an extension. Very poor approach to an obvious and frequently repeated complaint.

Review:
Excellent ANR, very comfortable, but cables way too short for my flying.
